UV Ablation Systems

The IX-255 UV Ablation Systems are highly versatile multi-application laser micromachining tools used in R&D and advanced processing environments. Available with either 193 nm or 248 nm laser sources, these systems deliver on-part beam energy exceeding 25 J/cm2 to provide machining of glass, metals, polymers and ceramics. User-adjustable controls enable either tightly focused or large area beams which can be used for drilling, cutting or selectively removing surface layers of material for 3-D contouring of parts. A uniform beam profile to support high-resolution imaging of complex shapes is available with the optional beam homogenization module. The same UV machining capabilities are available in the IX-280-ML, a similar platform that can be configured with two different laser types providing maximum material and process versatility in a single machining system.
